Google: Don't Be Evil. Or Microsoft.

Every company has something it aspires to, and it pretty much boils down to world domination. The folks at Google, however, insist they're different; their mantra of Don't Be Evil still has a nice ring to it, but the question is how well can a motto translate into a multi-billion company with thousands of employees.

According to the recent interview with Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Fox Business, one way to make sure they're on the right track is not to repeat Microsoft's mistakes.

You can see the entire interview below; in it, Schmidt takes on topics such as privacy (and the reasons behind launching their Google Dashboard), disruptive technology and the recovery of the economy.

The most interesting sentence, however, is the one in which he talks about Microsoft. "Hopefully, we won't repeat the mistakes that Microsot made, you know, ten years ago that ultimately led to all these things that happened with them", he says. As far as huge companies go, I don't think Microsoft is really doing all that bad, but these little jabs between these two giants are becoming quite commonplace; we look forward to Steve Ballmer's response.
